MIlitary Service Deposit

Before you begin your Military Service Deposit, you should keep in mind that this is a lengthy process which can take anywhere between 3-6 months.  The processing timeline begins with the employee submitting the required documents to HRO, and ends when the employee’s record is updated to reflect the paid deposit.

  2. Send your Estimated Earnings Statement + DD 214 to HING HRO Benefits Team to initiate your MSD process.
